Henry in Love - Peter McCarty

This is a cute story of flirtation - Henry really likes Chloe. They're in the same class and the day that Henry's mom makes blueberry muffins for lunch he plays with her at recess. The teacher happens to move seats around that afternoon - and she seatr Chloe beside Henry. So at snack he gives her his muffin -more or less sealing the deal, I guess.

Very simple, a bit slow...for me as an adult. But kids always surprise me - they just might love it!

About Me

I'm a newly-retired fourth grade classroom teacher, I've taught fifth grade, middle school literature, and college-level children's literature. Now I work as an assistant in the Youth Services department of a big public library....heaven! Originally from New England, I spent 14 years in the glorious sunshine of Tucson, Arizona, and moved a year ago to south central Pennsylvania - a new adventure! I adore my kids, my grandkids (I got married at "age 9"), my students, books and reading, quilts and quilting, yarn and knitting, papercrafts and altering books, genealogy, letterboxing, - and hitting the road to adventure far and wide. There are only two states that I've not yet visited, but I'm determined to get to all of them, even if I have to row.... Next goal? Foreign countries? US capitals or major cities?
